Some on here like to examine every public statement and scream AMNESTY! when he’s just trying to appeal to hispanics and get the messaging right.

Still carrying the water for Rand even though he is pushing his own brand of Amnesty.

From Merriam-Webster.com; the definition of Amnesty:

Definition of AMNESTY

: the act of an authority (as a government) by which pardon is granted to a large group of individuals.

So, JohnPDuncan, what do you call it when Rand Paul's plan "Normalizes" (i.e. Legalizes) 2 million undocumented Democrats, each and every year, based on the certification by a Congress that the border is secure, given that that Congress is 50% Democrat and 25% RINO both of which groups already believe the border is secure?

What do you call forgiving the punishment involved with committing ID Fraud (Felonies) that most Illegal Aliens have committed?

How about forgiving the misdemeanor of crossing the border illegally?

That's what you call Amnesty.

Ye of little faith Socon.

Rand is no dummy. He’s just helped kill gun control and enraged Obama who said “someone” (i,e him) mentioned he was using children as “props”. He didn’t like that.

Have you heard the term “smiling assassin?”.

If Rand doesn’t like this bill he will vote against it and will do all he can to kill it behind the scenes but he won’t say it publicly in fact he’ll be saying the opposite and looking like a pro-immigration reform zealot while he tries to sink it.

These are political machinations.

His capacity to kill this bill is limited considering the 59 votes they already have in the Senate. This thing is going to pass.
